and in essence, it said, Sillicon Valley is deathly afraid that this could be the death of the internet if people start
being paranoid and start to realize how much info is out there on everybody

It seems people don't realize when say, for example, they are on ebay or amazon, the sites itself know what you want
and by using "best match" show you ONLY those items they think you want
(meaning you don't even see anything else but that when using best match til you get to the bottom of the items when they say and other items)

It makes one think about someone who really hated computers back decades ago, who lived in a hut,
and despised modern technology.
Wonder if he is laughing?
